And now to connect the dots
Another outcome of the war was an almost unseen effect. Men, going off to war, learned to follow orders. The wives at home learned to step up and run the family while "hubby" was off doing his duty. Returning vets continued taking orders, but now from the wives. The entire family structure changed within less than a decade.
Looking at pin-up art for the past century shows a graphic history of sexuality. Around the turn of the century, artists produced demure "ladies of the court style" drawings. The twenties (after WWI) show a marked influence of European-style sexuality. The thirties and forties added the "scantily-clad, sexy nymphs". The fifties and sixties introduced the "dominant female" to the art world. The seventies and eighties added fetish attire, while the nineties added various aspects of BDSM.
